gold star for USAHOF

37. Roope Hintz

37. Roope Hintz

The Dallas Stars nabbed Finnish Left Wing, Roope Hintz, in the Second Round of the 2015 Draft, and two years later, he left Scandinavia for the Stars and after a year in the AHL, he made the Dallas roster, and was a full-time NHL player by 2019/20.

Hintz gradually improved his game, and in 2020/21, he was a Point-per-Game Wing (43 Points in 41 Games) showing that he could be a budding All-Star in the future.  In the two seasons after, Hintz had 72 and 75 Points respectively, both of which seeing him light the lamp 37 times.  Last season, Hintz's production dropped to 60 Points, but was still a vital part of Dallas' run to the Western Conference Finals.

It is only a matter of time before he becomes an All-Star.
